American actress and noted family, the daughter of TV producer Aaron Spelling. She established herself as an actress by playing the good-natured clotheshorse, Donna Martin, on the TV show “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
Tori is the daughter of housewife mom, Candy, and her famous dad, Aaron Spelling, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in Hollywood as the TV producer and writer of series’ “Charlie’s Angels,” “The Love Boat,” “Dynasty” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.” She has one younger brother, Randy.
Painfully sensitive about how she is perceived, the 5′ 5″ blonde teenager wanted to be like other kids and didn’t want things handed to her. She always wanted to be an actress and screenwriter since age five when she was given a walk-on in her dad’s show “Vega$.” Acting stints followed on “Love Boat,” “Fantasy Island,” “T.J. Hooker,” and “Hotel.” Tori tried out for the part of the sexy blonde Kelly on her dad’s show “90210,” but ended up getting the part of Donna.
With no shortage of ready cash, she moved out of her parent’s over-a-hundred-room mansion and took her first serious boyfriend, Ryan Ozar, a business major at the University of Arizona.
She admits to a nose job at 16, and claims to have a photographic memory. Her dad says that she’s a workaholic, “more determined than most people realize.”
The final episode of “Beverly Hills 90210” aired on 17 May 2000 after ten years as part of TV culture.
In the middle of 1993, she was dating Nick Savalas, Telly’s son, in a stormy relationship that lasted two years. In 2001 she was dating actor Vincent Young.
On 3 July 2004, the actress wed her boyfriend of 2 ½ years, actor-writer Charlie Shanian in Los Angeles, CA. The wedding invitation listed 6:00 PM as the time of the ceremony.
On 15 November 2004, she settled a lawsuit from a woman who was hit by a car Spelling was driving in 2002. The suit was for $500,000, and the settlement amount was undisclosed.
Just months after her $1 million wedding in July 2004, the actress’s marriage seemed to be coming apart. In late September 2005, an announcement of their separation was aired. By year-end, she was engaged to Dean McDermott when he gave her a ring on Christmas Eve (24 December 2005). The divorce from Shanian was finalized on 10 April 2006 and she married McDermott in Fiji on 7 May 2006.
Her father, Aaron Spelling, died after a stroke at 83 on 23 June 2006. Her relationship with her family has been uneasy, but she claims she reconciled with her famous dad just before his death. She blames her mother for the rift and told a reporter that she was informed of her dad’s death via an e-mail from a friend who saw the announcement in the media instead of from her mother. She and her husband Dean McDermott welcomed their first child together on 13 March 2007. Liam Aaron McDermott was born in Los Angeles, CA. McDermott has a son from a previous marriage. Her daughter Stella Doreen McDermott was born on 9 June 2008 at 3:13 PM in Los Angeles, CA (unconfirmed).
She and her husband welcomed their second child and first daughter on 9 June 2008 in Los Angeles. The child was delivered at 3:13 PM PDT (per photo of birth announcement in People magazine) by C-section and is named Stella Doreen McDermott. Their third child, Hattie Margaret McDermott was born at 7:08 AM on 10 October 2011. Finn Davey McDermott was born on 30 August 2012 at 5:39 PM. Their fifth child, Beau Dean McDermott, was born at 1:48 PM on 2 March 2017.
